Hi! I am an incoming Croucher Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Geoazur, Côte d'Azur Observatory. I recently obtained my Ph.D. at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
My research focuses on earthquake source physics, megathrust earthquakes, and seismic hazard assessment. My work integrates observational seismology and physics-based numerical modeling to study earthquake rupture processes and the physical conditions that control complex fault behavior. I am also interested in non-linear and high-dimensional problems with uncertainty quantification. I work with Prof. Wenyuan Fan and Prof. Alice-Agnes Gabriel to advance source inversion and evaluate rupture dynamics through physics-based numerical simulations.
Prior to Scripps, I got my BSc. at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and conducted machine learning-based seismic analysis on hydraulic fracturing-induced earthquakes in Sichuan, China, with Prof Yang Hongfeng.
